How the math works
Standard 0.25 acre boundary survey: $700 base. Larger lot adds per-acre after 0.5 acres. Rush adds 25%.
Shop 3 surveyors; prices vary 20-30%. For standard residential, mortgage location survey usually suffices — don't over-order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Survey types?
Mortgage location (simplest, $150-$400). Boundary survey ($500-$1,500). ALTA/NSPS (commercial, $1,500-$5,000). Topographical (grading/engineering, $700-$2,500). Each serves different purposes.
When is survey required?
Often required by lender (especially new construction, rural, or disputed boundaries). Almost always waived on tract-home subdivisions. Commercial: nearly always required.
Can I use a prior survey?
Sometimes — if dated within 1-2 years and no changes to property. Many lenders and title companies accept. Saves $300-$1,500.
